The Medallion novel Chapter 1958

"You should get going. Split into two divisions as we originally planned," Rocky ordered right away.

"Understood." The four stony-faced girls nodded and immediately went to carry out the instruction.

After issuing the order, Rocky and Vivian then left the independent army and returned to the camp in the Wind Plain.

"Wow. I didn't expect you'd train such an excellent army. Not to mention, your four confidantes are all distinctly smart and powerful," Vivian promptly remarked. Her experience in leading soldiers to war with other fiefs all year round in the Ghost Fief had earned her the skill of recognizing the quality of an army with just a glance. Eunice and the other girls had definitely impressed her. She believed that they were surely extraordinary.

"Why do you sound jealous?" Rocky shot back with a teasing smile.

"You're kidding, right?" Vivian exclaimed as her eyes widened in annoyance and disbelief.

"You know, they're all like younger sisters to me. I'm very grateful to them. It's because of their help and support all along that I've got this far," Rocky explained with a sigh, feeling a little sentimental.

"Huh. I actually used to think you're boring, but really, you seem to be quite a lady's man," Vivian snorted. They had been spending so much time together that she got to know more about Rocky each day.

"Hey, that stings a bit!" Rocky chuckled wryly.

The following day after returning to the Wind Plain, the number of the Ghost Fief's troop immediately reached thirty thousand when the reinforcements from the border joined them.

They rested for another day before Vivian led a third of the soldiers to attack Enoch's garrison at the Wind Plain.

With her incredible strength and rich experience in the battlefield, they easily defeated their enemies, which forced them to retreat a mile in less than a day.

Since the situation had become unfavorable for them, the commander of Enoch's garrison immediately sent some of his men to the Red River Valley to ask for reinforcements.

Upon hearing that the Wind Plain was under assault, Enoch surmised that Zain was strong-arming him to divide his forces. If he did so, he would be giving the royal army a chance to conquer the Red River Valley once their defense weakened.

"It's no big deal. The enemy only has twenty thousand soldiers. Just hold out for a few more days!" Of course, Enoch easily turned down the Wind Plain's request for reinforcements. He was unwilling to split his troop.

Having failed to receive any support from their leader, the Wind Plain's garrison was left with no other choice but to continue toughing it out.

As a result, the Wind Plain's garrison had lost ten thousand soldiers in less than three days. On the other hand, the Ghost Fief's army had only lost about three thousand of their men.

Since things turned sour, the garrison commander decided to try his luck and ask for help from the Red River Valley for a second time.

Unfortunately for them, the battle at the Red River Valley had reached a stalemate. The royal army led by Zain was so strong that they had taken five of Enoch's defensive positions in a row, ready to attack the Red River Valley's stronghold at any time.

Obviously, there was no way that Enoch would send the Wind Plain's garrison reinforcements at this point. He insisted that they should fight on their own.

Enoch's repeated refusal to help crushed the morale of the entire garrison.

Needless to say, Rocky had already predicted that it was unlikely that Enoch would help them. When he sensed that the time was ripe, he immediately summoned the reinforcements from the border and sent them into the battlefield. Apparently, they had been hiding themselves all this while.

The Wind Plain's garrison was effectively driven to despair the minute they saw their enemy's reinforcements. They simply lost the tiniest bit of courage to fight.

Upon seeing that the morale of the garrison was ultimately crushed, Rocky decided to go alone and visit their base camp, which had been removed somewhere three miles away.

The moment Enoch's soldiers saw Rocky descending from the sky, they immediately became extremely vigilant. Then, a medium-stage Spiritual Emperor wasted no time and quickly summoned several Spiritual Kings to surround Rocky.

"Don't be too alarmed. I am the royal army's envoy. I'm just here to negotiate with your commander," Rocky declared with a straight face.
